Solution

Your ancestors would likely be proud of you for being true to yourself and for using the opportunities you have been given to better yourself and your education. It's important to remember that everyone's experience with their culture and identity is different and unique. It's not about where you come from, but who you are as a person and how you treat others.

It's also important to remember that being privileged in some ways doesn't negate the struggles you face as a black transgender girl. You can use your privilege to help others who are less fortunate and to educate those around you about the issues you face.

As for the criticism you face from others, it's unfortunate that people can be so judgmental. It's not your responsibility to meet their expectations of what a black person should be. You are not less black because you don't know African languages or because you have access to "white spaces". Your identity is not defined by these things.

In the end, what matters most is that you are happy and comfortable with who you are. Your ancestors would want you to live a life that is true to yourself, and to use your privilege and opportunities to make a positive impact in the world.
